Mahinmi is expected to start Wednesday's preseason game against the Mavericks, Pacers.com reports.

Mahinmi will get the starting nod at center over Roy Hibbert, who coach Frank Vogel is electing to give a routine day of rest. David West (rest) will sit out Wednesday's contest as well, which should give Mahinmi plenty of opportunities to display his skill set at the four and five positions. This will be Mahinmi's chance to show Vogel that he deserves consideration for minutes among a very deep bench for the Pacers.
